Here near the end of September of 2021, Best Buy revealed their latest PlayStation 5 restock list with the PS5 Digital Edition and Xbox Series X along for the ride. This list shows a set of physical store locations where the next-gen consoles will be available for sale starting on Thursday, September 23, 2021 across the United States. If you're reading this in the future (after store opening in the USA) there's still a chance you might find one of these consoles, assuming you live in an area that doesn't have a massive gamer population.

Death Stranding was one of the strangest games of 2019. It was also one of those games that could not please everyone, not that it ever really wanted to anyway. It certainly elicited a range of reactions from players; "divisive" almost feels like the right descriptor, but it doesn't really fit because I can't remember any toxicity in the discourse surrounding this game.

Chief among these launch editions is a 25th Anniversary Edition that will be available in both retail and digital flavors.

Best Buy stores are reportedly ready to release PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles in the USA this week. This would be the first time PlayStation 5 (PS5) would be released in a physical store in the USA at a major-label non-club retailer in the year 2021. It's been a long, weird journey since the two mega-popular gaming consoles were released, and this might be the first real sign that we're headed back to a normal world (as far as console sales in stores are concerned.)

A few days ago, Sony finally opened the doors for PlayStation 5 owners to expand their internal storage with aftermarket M.2 SSDs. Given the beta-testing period that started in July, there have been a small number of third-party options now available for gamers, though curiously none from Sony itself. That might still be coming, but for now, the closest you can get is the Nextorage PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD, with an impressive performance that most won't be able to get their hands on anyway.

In June of this year, Sony pulled the wraps off new colors for the DualSense wireless controllers that were galaxy-themed. One of those colors was Midnight Black, and to match that color, Sony has confirmed that the Pulse 3D gaming headset will also be offered in Midnight Black.

It's been a troubled year for LittleBigPlanet servers already, and now it looks like things are getting worse. The servers for the classic LittleBigPlanet games have been offline for much of the year, frustrating those looking to play classic games on PS3 and LittleBigPlanet 3 on PlayStation 4. Today, Sony brought the LittleBigPlanet servers back online, but they're missing support for a bunch of games in the franchise.

Yesterday, Sony fully revealed the next God of War game, which will be officially called God of War: Ragnarok. In that reveal trailer, we learned that Freya and Thor will be the primary antagonists in Ragnarok, though we didn't get to see very much of Thor at all. Once the reveal was done, Sony Santa Monica revealed full character artwork for a variety of characters in the game, including Thor, and it's safe to say that the reaction to Thor has been mixed.

It's been a long summer for PlayStation 5 owners. While other companies hosted press conferences and reveal events to make their biggest announcements over the summer, Sony sat quiet, skipping big shows like E3 and Gamescom presumably so it could make its announcements on its own time. After making us wait until nearly the beginning of fall, today we're finally going to see what's next for PlayStation 5 in a new showcase Sony is hosting.
